Document background
The Certificate of Employment Contract is a crucial document required under Indonesian employment law to formalize employment relationships between companies and their employees. This document is mandatory for all employment arrangements in Indonesia and must comply with Law No. 13 of 2003 on Manpower and its implementing regulations. The contract serves multiple purposes: it defines the terms and conditions of employment, protects both employer and employee rights, ensures compliance with local labor regulations, and provides a clear reference point for the employment relationship. It can be used for both fixed-term and permanent employment arrangements, and must include specific provisions required by Indonesian law such as working hours, compensation, leave entitlements, and social security benefits. The Certificate of Employment Contract is particularly important as it needs to be registered with the relevant manpower office and serves as a reference document for any employment-related disputes or regulatory compliance checks.
